With the competition now in its third year, the committee behind The Championships hope that it will encourage more Scottish schools to include piping and drumming tuition on the school curriculum.

Armed with 7 different categories, the innovative ‘freestyle’ category seemed to be the most popular as competition organisers had to cap entries due to time restraints on the day.

The freestyle category allows bands to play a song of their choice alongside other musical instruments. This year the freestyle category saw bands playing everything from traditional songs such as Slan Leat to modern music such as Coldplay.

Thanks to our award-winning PR agency Holyrood Partnership, we managed to help spread the word of the competition’s success in some of Scotland’s largest newspapers.
